Donkey Kong 3 (1984) är en unik port i form av ett Micro VS. Game & Watch-spel, helt skilt från arkadversionen. Kärnupplevelsen är en direkt tvåspelaruppgörelse där en spelare styr Stanley och den andra Donkey Kong, vilket gör det till en av få dedikerade multiplayer-enheter i serien. Spelet fokuserar på omedelbar, tävlingsinriktad arkadaction på specialiserad handhållen hårdvara.

A planned Mini Classics version of Donkey Kong 3 was in the works, but never got released. In a stock image, it is mislabeled as Donkey Kong Junior.

The Modern version has a few differences. First, Mario replaces Stanley (just like how an Orange Yoshi replaces him for the Modern mode of Greenhouse in Game & Watch Gallery 3). Mario and Donkey Kong also have bubble shooters instead of insecticide sprays. Plus, the setting is a Ghost House. Lastly, the bees have been replaced by a fireball and a Boo. The fireball remains in place until pushed away by the bubbles. The Boo attempts to sneak up on either Mario or Donkey Kong when one of them is busy refilling his bubble shooter. When the fireball or Boo reaches Mario's or Donkey Kong's side, whoever receives it freaks out. Unlike in the Classic version, music is featured.
